THE P WORD TALKS

THE NAKED TRUTH PROJECT•nakedtruthproject.com

What happens when you bring six leading voices together to talk about pornography? In The P Word Talks, Ian Henderson travels across the country to have honest, eye-opening conversations with experts including Dr. Paula Hall, Helen Taylor, Dr. Alex Bailey, Dr. Elly Hanson, Lord Bethell, and Dame Rachel de Souza. They come from different backgrounds—mental health, safeguarding, politics, and public advocacy—and they don’t always agree with each other, or with Naked Truth, on every point. But they do agree on this: porn is causing real harm, and it’s time we talked about it.
